BACKGROUND <br /> The Operations Services Department entered into contract with Terra Landscape in <br /> November 2015 to perform weed abatement services for the City. Terra Landscape is <br /> currently managing 108 weed abatement locations throughout the city that require <br /> string trimming, mowing, and pesticide application to control and suppress weed growth. <br /> Such locations include: roadsides, drainage ditches, curbs and sidewalks, industrial <br /> sites, bioswales, and open space parcels. The work is performed to maintain sensitive <br /> site and fire suppression compliance, reduce weed growth to acceptable thresholds, <br /> and maintain quality standards. An additional forty-one sites have been identified that <br /> require weed abatement services (Attachment 1). Most locations are managed by the <br /> Streets Maintenance Division of Operations Services. In order to maintain baseline <br /> service standards and pest threshold limits, an amendment to the contract is required to <br /> complete weed abatement services for the remaining fiscal year and to continue weed <br /> abatement services for FY 2019/20. <br /> The cost to complete the additional weed abatement services is $50,000 and funding for <br /> the contract with Terra Landscape is funded in part by the Parks Maintenance, Utilities <br /> Maintenance and Streets Maintenance operational budgets under contract services. <br /> Funding for weed abatement services in FY2019/20 is included in the four <br /> aforementioned Operations Services Division budgets. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> . <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
